It is due to we are voyeurs They erase the boundaries between the public and the private. The television keeps up with society. It's real behavior in real environments. such shows will ultimately be dwarfed by the long-term damage. They are going to be the network that humiliates people if they keep showing programmes like this. One of the great ironies about these programmes is that they are manifestly unreal. They call it unscripted drama which is more like sports. It be a new way to tell a story but as time goes on, they eventually go completely over the top, irritates both viewers and advertisers. Reality shows may hold half of America's top ten rankings, but the three highest-rated programmes are one nine-year-old sitcom and two classic dramas.

The rediscovery of the Shang began with the discovery of traditional Chinese medicine. Before the shells were grounded, somebody noticed they were inscribed with strange Chinese characters .The newly established Academia Sinica sent an excavation team to Xiaotun in 1928. The earliest digs focused on retrieving oracle bones. The bones speak of war and harvest, disease and childbirth. They are heavy with descriptions of sacrifices, both human and animal. An expert explained the process by which Shang diviners uses of the bones are to verify whether or not the event would occur. The key materials were turtle plastrons or cattle scapulas, cleaned and treated and thinned by drilling notches into the back. The diviners then applied a hot object until the surface cracked. It is the moment that, to the Shang, represented a voice from another world. The interpretation of the cracks, a task handled by the king himself, was often carved into the object, along with the original divination statement.The oracle bones refer to persons who appear in traditional historical texts, proving that they were more than myth.

Draft 2 - Singapore Flyer

I was joyous, looking forward to the Singapore Flyer. I went to look up information related to the flyer. IT was located at Marina Bay; it sits astride a three-storey Retail Terminal with an exciting array of retail and F&B choices. A central atrium opens out to a lush tropical rainforest, while an open-air theatre hosts live performances. The two hundred and ten meter long waterfront dining promenade will be adding to the buzz of sights, sounds and activities. It sounded so breath-taking that it thrilled me the thought of it.

The three-storey is constructed around the Singapore Flyer. I hardly saw the shop houses were opened, most probably due to the timing we went there which was too early. There are plenty of artificial trees planted around the middle of the basement floor to decorate the place, which in turns make the place looks more “greener” .There is a place for security check before entering the capsule to ensure no dangerous weapons were brought aboard. I finally managed to board the Singapore Flyer finally. It was the moment when the wheel turned to the mid-ways. I stared in wonderment. Marina barrage, Merlion Park and New Bridge were examples of places of interest that can be seen up in the Singapore Flyer. I could hardly believe my eyes; I managed to capture the view of Singapore from bird’s eye view.

The moment when I reached aboard the capsule of Singapore Flyer, I could felt the inertia of the capsule .In this case, physics was applied as I walked in the opposite direction of the capsule .The strong current of force opposed me when I was going in. When I looked around, I saw the big diameter of the wheel which could be calculated. The time taken for one spin to complete could be tabulated. The superb engineering feat of this magnificent structure would have plenty of time and manpower to build it. My expectations were met as it was a suitable outdoor classroom for conducing lesson which related to a lot of subjects.

During the ride in the capsule, some of the students were supposed to take a good watch at timing of the stopwatch which is used to time the time needed for one full turn of the wheel. Everyone started to become mischievous and put their worksheet and stopwatch away. Then, one by one, students rushed to the corners and took out either their cell phones or their digital cameras and started snapping photos. There was cacophony of students’ cheer that they managed to see a wide view of Singapore. The teacher-in-charge even also took photo of herself.

I felt the trip was exhilarating .Instead of using old classroom for teaching, places of interest could also be used for teaching purposes. The outdoor classroom provided student more knowledge that is probably beyond the capability of teacher to teach. There is no doubt that I strongly recommend it to others.
